I last ran it last fall and it worked fine. I tried to start it in January and no-go. The carb was flooding so I cleaned it an put in a new needle and seat. I checked the spark, which was weak, so I put in points, rotor, condenser, and cap. Still no go even with ether. I thought that I may have put in the distributor out of phase, so I checked it and that is fine. I checked compression and that is good. I thought maybe stink bugs had gotten in the exhaust and clogged it so I disconnected the pipe at the manifold. No help. Today, I pulled the plugs, laid them on the head with the wires connected and cranked to check spark. All are good. I checked timing again by putting a thumb on the #1 spark plug port, and yes, the spark occurred about when my thumb was pushed off. (I assume that the #1 cylinder is at the engine front - nearest the radiator, right?).
I am out of ideas. Suggestions?
Thanks
